Sunday 31 May Ocean Kayak from Broken Head to the Three Sisters

An ocean kayak trip from Broken Head out to the Three Sisters, and depending on participants' enthusiasm, down the coast to Bray's or White's beach. If the forecasts are accurate, the swell and wind will be as calm as it gets at Broken Head, so an ideal chance to try ocean kayaking. The scenery along the coast is spectacular, and the water is still warm. James has a PLB, and Peter W has a VHF radio, so emergency comms is covered. Suggested meeting time at the Broken Head boat ramp at 09:30 (but open to other suggested times).

Life jacket is essential, and no fishing gear allowed. Bring a drink and a snack. Limit 10 members.
